Transport Case

Payloads

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Payloads

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Payloads

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Payloads

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Payloads

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Payloads

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Payloads

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

S110 NIR StandardExample applications biomass indication growth monitoring cropdiscrimination leaf area indexingThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 NIR acquires image data in the nearinfrared (NIR) band the region where high plant reflectance occursIts exposure parameters can be set manually and its RAW files arefully supported by the eBee Agrsquos software

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

The multiSPEC 4C is a cutting-edge sensor unit developed byAirinovrsquos agronomy specialists and customised for the eBee Ag Itcontains four separate 12 megapixel sensors that are electronicallyintegrated within the eBeersquos autopilot These sensors acquire dataacross four highly precise bands plus each sensor features a globalshutter for sharp undistorted images

S110 RGB OptionalExample applications real colour 2D and 3D visual renderingchlorophyll indication drainage evaluationThis customised 12 MP camera is electronically integrated withinthe eBeersquos autopilot The S110 RGB acquires regular image datain the visible spectrum plus its exposure parameters can be setmanually and its RAW files are fully supported by the eBee Agrsquossoftware

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

If you do one flight with a RGB camera and then another flight with a NIRGB (NearInfrared-Green-Blue) camera you can load both datasets in the software and label them differently (eg RGB and NIRGB) in the initial screen The software will do the initial calibration using geometric information of both datasets and your results will be two orthomosaics matching the band configuration of the original datasets one with an RGB bandset and one with NIRGB bandset To compute a vegetation index you would typically need to combine with a third party software the first band of the NIRGB mosaic together with the two last bands of the RGB mosaic

Development by UAV manufacturer forAgricultural Mapping

Survey-grade aerial mapping

Collect aerial photography to produce orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy down to 3 cm - without Ground Control Points The eBee RTK features a built-in L1L2 GNSS receiver This allows it to receive correction data from most leading brands of base station Its 16 MP camera can shoot imagery at a resolution of down to 15 cmpixel These images can then be transformed into orthomosaics amp 3D models with absolute accuracy of down to 3 cm 5 cm ndash without the need for GCPs

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

1 Task objectives80

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

Includes development of ldquoD205 Road and logistic simulation modulerdquo

Due to Month 13

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

87

Location of selected number of facilities by the exact center-of-gravity method Output XY coordinates of a selected number

of facilities Optimization based only on distances Binary model (source-sink) Useful for a first estimation of 2 or more

facility locations to be supplied from specific lands

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

1 Task objectives80

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

Includes development of ldquoD205 Road and logistic simulation modulerdquo

Due to Month 13

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

87

Location of selected number of facilities by the exact center-of-gravity method Output XY coordinates of a selected number

of facilities Optimization based only on distances Binary model (source-sink) Useful for a first estimation of 2 or more

facility locations to be supplied from specific lands

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

Includes development of ldquoD205 Road and logistic simulation modulerdquo

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

87

Location of selected number of facilities by the exact center-of-gravity method Output XY coordinates of a selected number

of facilities Optimization based only on distances Binary model (source-sink) Useful for a first estimation of 2 or more

facility locations to be supplied from specific lands

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

T 25 ndash Road and Logistic planning

Mikkeli 2nd-4th July 2014

1 Task objectives80

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

Includes development of ldquoD205 Road and logistic simulation modulerdquo

Due to Month 13

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

87

Location of selected number of facilities by the exact center-of-gravity method Output XY coordinates of a selected number

of facilities Optimization based only on distances Binary model (source-sink) Useful for a first estimation of 2 or more

facility locations to be supplied from specific lands

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

88

P-median multiple facility location Output selected facilities from a list of

candidate sites receiving flows from other sites Optimization based on transport costs and fix

costs but lack of capacity constrains and other inventory costs

DATA COLLECTION FOR THE MODEL Positions of stands lands storage areas processing sites (saw paper mills and

biomass heating and power plants) demand sites Volume available to harvest in every stand per quality of timber and destination (saw

mill or energy) Position for stand respect existing roads Slope or grade of difficulty to access Capacity of ground to support specific machinery Size and availability of skyline deployment sites Capacity and location of storage areas and buffers and processing sites Characteristics of processing sites and conversion facilities Distances between different nodes

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

T 25 ndash Road and Logistic planning

Mikkeli 2nd-4th July 2014

1 Task objectives80

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

Includes development of ldquoD205 Road and logistic simulation modulerdquo

Due to Month 13

Partners involved

ITENE (leader) GRAPHITECH CNR BOKU FLY

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

DATA COLLECTION FOR THE MODEL Positions of stands lands storage areas processing sites (saw paper mills and

biomass heating and power plants) demand sites Volume available to harvest in every stand per quality of timber and destination (saw

mill or energy) Position for stand respect existing roads Slope or grade of difficulty to access Capacity of ground to support specific machinery Size and availability of skyline deployment sites Capacity and location of storage areas and buffers and processing sites Characteristics of processing sites and conversion facilities Distances between different nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

T 25 ndash Road and Logistic planning

Mikkeli 2nd-4th July 2014

1 Task objectives80

Task objectives

Build and validate and Optimization model to decide on optimal logistic network in a given forest area This means to calculate locations for buffer areas mills and processing plants routes and flows between nodes according to a forecast demand

Build and validate a Model to estimate traffic on individual sections for road maintenance and construction purposes in this forest area according to a forecasted demand

Grumes in Trento has been chosen as forest area for testing the models

To be developed from M8 (August 14) to M13 (January 15)

Includes development of ldquoD205 Road and logistic simulation modulerdquo

Due to Month 13

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

81

The goal is to determine an optimal (minimum cost) forest logistic network to respond future demands

The approach should determine Location of facilities (normally from a set of posible sites) Size and capacity of facilities (storage areas and processing sites) Volume to harvest in every landing and stand area Volume of timber to transport from landings to facilities (it gives a first

estimation of road traffic for road planning) Routes to connect nodes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

82

The model should consider inputs like

Forecast of future demand of timber Geographic characteristics of the area (Map distances slopes available

areas sizes coordinates hellip) Actual roads from forest to mills (forest accessibility) Map type hellip Amount and quality of available timber Possible location of millsbiomass areas and distance to the forest

(coordinates size) Dimension of the logs needed Individual costs related to transport infrastructures costs and others like

clearing meadows or watersides artificial anchors locking public roads

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

87

Location of selected number of facilities by the exact center-of-gravity method Output XY coordinates of a selected number

of facilities Optimization based only on distances Binary model (source-sink) Useful for a first estimation of 2 or more

facility locations to be supplied from specific lands

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

88

P-median multiple facility location Output selected facilities from a list of

candidate sites receiving flows from other sites Optimization based on transport costs and fix

costs but lack of capacity constrains and other inventory costs

Binary model (source-sink) Useful for a first estimation of 2 or more facility

locations to be supplied from specific lands

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

89

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes

2 Approaches for sites location and flow allocation decisions

93

COST FACTORS supply and transport operational costs final product transport cost to demand sites fixed cost for capacity expansion during the planning horizon investment associated to construction of a new site

OUTPUT Selected facilities Size an capacity of facilities (storage and processing sites) Volume of harvest in every landing and stand aacuterea Volume to transport

Timber from landings to facilities

Product from facilities to demand sites

Decision to expand production capacity in a specific period in the planning horizon

3 Approaches to estimate traffic in existing roads

94

Once the different sites and locations have been selected and flows between sites have been determined for each future period

A Logistics Resource Planning Model will be used to determine the volume to harvest in every period in every land processing and transport means and a more precise estimation of traffic in every individual sections of road in terms of number of trip per vehicles type (size weight) in each period

This traffic estimation will allow to define plans for road maintenance and construction in the forest area taking into account the capability of roads to accept trucks and cranes of different weights and sizes
